15mm Royal Marines & Italian Sailors Boxer Rebellion 1900

Welcome to 2013 I have updated the blog to include a record this year of my efforts and projects, to try and keep on track.

Without further ado the first repaints of the Boxer Rebellion project, 1st up Royal Marines and Italian sailors, the Warbases really bring the units to life and make the units so much more functional.

I just need to work out how to identify the Big Men within the units, for the Allied command the officers are easily identifiable but it is fractionally more difficult for the Boxers.

All figures by Old Glory.

I brought these 15mm resin tents off e-bay 5 years ago but could not find the enthusiasm to break them out of the blister pack, I was not sure whether to base them separately or on a large scenic base.
